What the New Building Means
The completed building will double UTEC’s capacity to help the highest-risk youth of Lowell. The new addition will have dedicated classrooms, multimedia labs, and a youth-run café! The commercial kitchen and café will create permanent jobs and allow for the expansion of our culinary arts program. The classrooms will double the number of available spots in our workforce and education programming. The conference center and rental space will help UTEC further serve the needs of our community.
UTEC has been expanding since we were founded by teens in 1999, and now we will have a home that grows with us. Contributions and donations help to purchase computers for the alternative education programs, A/V studio equipment, dance studio supplies, café furnishings, kitchen appliances, and other final finishes for the interior of the building.
Most importantly, a donation from you will help us achieve our ultimate mission of trading violence and poverty for social and economic success for all the youth we serve.
